CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

"Sister Ruoyu, thank you for your recognition of me as an actor. But I disagree with your opinion of me opening a film and television company."

Xie Zhuxin spoke very calmly at this moment, as if the person with a provocative look just now was not her.

"Yes, I also thought about being just an actor. Until I felt more and more strongly that it was really difficult to get the role I wanted just by passively waiting."

Xie Zhuxin meant these words sincerely.

She thought that after winning the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Actress, acting offers would come in a lot, and there would be more good scripts for her to act with greater enthusiasm.

But reality gave her a heavy blow.

After winning the Best Actress award, she seemed to have fallen into what is often referred to as the "award-winning curse" in the industry.

Perhaps it was the three consecutive films that were both box office success and critical acclaim that sucked away all her good luck.

After winning the award, the number of script invitations has indeed increased a lot.

But considering her desire to start again and do something big, the quality of the script is really hard to meet the standards.

It is not a vase-like role with very limited room for development in a star-studded, hugely invested compilation movie.

It's just to do some projects with similar themes to the previous three movies, and let her continue to perform her successful screen image in them.

Occasionally there are a few scripts with heavy characters, but they are obviously just to try their luck.

The script is average, and the other project configurations are even more average.

These invitations were either intended to leverage her popularity to promote their works, or to have her repeat her role, or the quality of the works was mediocre.

In short, none of them meet the standards of Xie Zhuxin's first work after winning the Golden Bauhinia Award.

After looking around, I found that among all the scripts I received in the past six months, Uncle Lou's project that replicated "The Wooden Guanyin" was the most impressive.

It’s a pity that it was still a recurring role and was rejected by Xie Zhuxin early on.

Fortunately, she still has the S+ level system opportunity card and "The First Incense" directed by Xu An.

Therefore, even though it has been more than half a year since Xie Zhuxin won the Best Actress award, she has not taken on any other acting roles except for "The First Incense".

However, Xie Zhuxin has also gained something else in the past six months.

Speaking of which, the film and television company was established in the beginning and involved in the operation of film and television projects in order to make it easier to deal with Ni Zibing.

After all, Tan Yifeng and Ni Zibing were not particularly familiar with each other, and the negative information provided mainly revolved around the capital operations related to Ni Zibing.

Therefore, only by setting up a company to operate it can we truly make good use of the "gifts" left by Tan Yifeng.

But not long after, Xie Zhuxin made an unexpected discovery——

It turns out that even if an actress is as famous as an international film queen, she still faces the dilemma of not having good scripts or good roles?

In those projects where she snatched over Ni Zibing's projects, there were actually few female roles worthy of an international film queen.

Although the lineup in front of and behind the scenes is stronger than the project in Xie Zhuxin's hands, it is basically centered on men, and most of the female characters are used to serve as foils for the male protagonists.

Isn't this an enhanced version of the script in my hand?

Even though Ni Zibing relied on her influence as an international film queen, she tried hard to get the screenwriters to give the female characters more highlight roles.

However, since the character settings are inherently flawed, it is impossible to have earth-shaking changes, and the room for development is still limited.

So being an actress alone, even if you strive to reach Ni Zibing's level, is still so powerless?

After realizing this conclusion, Xie Zhuxin immediately paid more attention to the operation of film and television projects.

She hired experienced managers to run her own film and television company and attended every major project meeting.

It is of course very important to fulfill the conditions promised to Tan Yifeng and not let Ni Zibing have an easy time.

But she also began to consciously gain some experience from it so as to better prepare for her future career.

So at this moment, facing Deng Ruoyu, Xie Zhuxin seemed particularly justified.

"Sister Ruoyu, don't you also know the pain of having no roles to play?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Deng Ruoyu's expression changed immediately.

"What do you mean?"

Xie Zhuxin smiled apologetically.

This topic is indeed a bit heartbreaking for Deng Ruoyu.

Because according to my understanding, before Deng Ruoyu first became famous by collaborating with Pei Yuanqing 4 or 5 years ago, she had not received any acting jobs for a long time.

Even after becoming famous, he did not produce many works because he focused on movies.

Before taking on "Wooden Guanyin", there was a fairly long gap.

Compared with her, although I have also been troubled by the lack of good scripts, I have basically been able to join the crew continuously.

So, saying these four words "no movies to shoot" to her at this moment is like mocking her in person, right?

However, Xie Zhuxin did not back down at all because of Deng Ruoyu's ugly expression. Instead, she spoke more directly.

"Sister Ruoyu, we are all actresses who have been in the industry for many years. We all know what the current market is like for actresses, whether in TV dramas or movies.

"In film and television works with larger investments, male characters are the main characters. Not only are there fewer female characters, they have fewer roles, and most of them are only responsible for their looks. There are very few who have room to perform, and the competition is particularly fierce.

"To be honest, I've studied several projects run by Ni Zibing, and they're not much better than what I just described.

"Even she is like this, which is enough to prove that it is not a problem of any individual actress, but more of a problem of the entire market environment!"

Deng Ruoyu couldn't help but sigh.

How could she not know what Xie Zhuxin said?

If Xie Zhuxin still has the TV drama market to choose from, it can somewhat alleviate the problem of difficulty in getting acting jobs.

As someone who is so focused on acting in movies, she will only feel more deeply about the plight of actresses.

Take this year's Spring Festival for example. Apart from the film "The Goddess of Mercy" directed by Chen Kexing, the two sisters of the Liang family had important roles to play.

Other movies have only male protagonists, and you can hardly see any female actors’ faces even on the promotional posters.

The same is true for the film market after the Spring Festival.

Moreover, even though she performed well in the box office champion movie during the Spring Festival, the scripts she was given were not much better than the vase roles she played in previous years.

This made her very disappointed as she had been waiting for a good role.

Besides, Deng Ruoyu is a few years older than Xie Zhuxin and is almost 30 years old.

She has seen too many examples of what kind of drastic changes will happen to actresses over 30 in the film and television market, and she has long been anxious.

But what's the use?

What else can we do besides adjusting our mindset and accepting it calmly?

"Even if this is the reality, what are you going to do?"

Deng Ruoyu spoke hesitantly.

She probably didn't notice that her tone had unconsciously become much softer.

"Sister Ruoyu, I really like acting. So in order to be able to act longer in the future, I want to start planning early. Now this film and television company is the first step of my plan."

Xie Zhuxin said confidently.

“I don’t deny that I am still at the stage of ‘learning’ from Senior Ni Zibing, but I will keep improving.

“One day, I will make some good works and let female characters shine!

"If that day comes, Sister Ruoyu, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
